Specialist Diploma in MEP Modularisation (SDMM)

Event code: 79019

INTRODUCTION

The Specialist Diploma in MEP Modularisation (SDMM) is a 9-month programme developed to be in line with Government’s effort to increase overall construction productivity capabilities in the MEP sector. SDMM focuses on Off-site Prefabrication of Modular Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Systems (MMS) aka MEP Modularisation. SDMM’s first module introduces learners to the principles of MEP coordination. It provides an overview of the MEP system design and material selection; followed by installation and testing; and finally, operations and maintenance. The subsequent module covers good practices in MMS ranging from 3 broad modular frame designs: modular run, modular riser and modular platform. It also establishes guidelines on how different MEP services are allocated within the frame as well as recommended sizes, type of materials and minimum services needed for cost effectiveness. Advanced jointing services for MEP are also studied for their efficacy in
enhancing productivity as well as their long-term impact based on cost-benefits analysis. BIM Modelling tools will be used for MEP systems design and analysis. Programming tools will also be introduced to enhance BIM MEP design. There will be practicum to address some of the potential challenges that could be faced by Designers, Consultants and Fabricators. External guest speakers specialising in components for MMS will also be invited to share their experiences. Finally, students will embark on a 4-month graded project based on designing a full range of MMS solutions for a specific building type.
